Inspiration/Story Behind This Product

to artist canvas, or even displayed as they are.

My sunprints on fabric help me to bring my own gardens to my quilts. At a distance a garden or other area may not be very appealing, but upon closer inspection, single blooms, leaves, or other things have much beauty. I am striving to bring that beauty in nature to my art quilts.

Botanical Sunprints are made by placing leaves, flowers, and(or) thin foam sheet cutouts (for butterflies or hummingbirds) onto freshly painted cotton fabric, while the paint is still wet, and placed in the sun to dry. The combination of sun and humidity affect the speed at which the paint dries. If conditions are ideal, the color moves from under the leaf or flower, resulting in the sunprint. No two can be the same, due to different drying conditions and paint color combinations. Every print is a unique original.

Materials Used
